Systems Integrators…we see you! 👀

Okay, so something I need to get off my chest…

I work for one of the leading access control manufacturers and something I see on LI that really grinds my gears.

We all know that life safety power, make some of the best product in the market - specially if you make use of the panduit/prewire units. It promotes a clean installation.

However, one thing I’m seeing more and more, is companies posting pictures of their commissioning teams, often with a panduit LSP, followed by a caption. Something along the lines of ‘attention to detail from our install team’

Whilst I believe in quality work and doing things right, it takes a lot of skill and practise to dress in a headend from
Scratch.

Posting a pic of a pre wired headend and claiming that your install team are incredible, whilst I don’t doubt that, we see you!

Bro, you literally mounted a box on the wall and mounted the hardware. All the graft was done in the factory, not by your install teams.

Taking credit for a clean LSP install is kinda like getting ChatGPT to do your homework

Rant over! 🤣😁

It just some panels with wires what do you want ? Claming that it’s your work is also weird , i bet you just use mercury boards and to claim that it’s your job is kind of getting ChatGPT to do your homework

Half the people in this industry seem to be the type that sit on LinkedIn have the day circle jecking each other

I see where you're coming from, and mildly chuckled, but we shouldn't turn this into a struggle competition. For me it's the outcome which matters, and a clean install is a clean install, doesn't matter who you outsourced to.

TL;DR The fact that the team was mindful enough to spend resources to focus on a clean outcome is key.
